The Game of Sisyphus

The Game of Sisyphus throws you into the myth itself. You become Sisyphus, condemned to eternally push a boulder up a mountain. The challenge lies not just in the effort, but in the futility. The boulder will inevitably roll back down, forcing you to begin anew. Some versions of the game add obstacles like spikes and ice to further test your perseverance. Though there may not be a traditional "win," the core gameplay loop can be surprisingly engaging, prompting reflection on themes of persistence, meaning in repetitive tasks, and even the absurdity of the situation.
